Basic JavaScript

JavaScript is a script language – a system of programming codes, created by Netscape, that can be embedded into the HTML of a web page to add functionality. JavaScript should not be confused with the Java programming language. In general, script languages ​​such as JavaScript are easier and faster to code than more structured languages ​​such as Java and C ++.

JavaScript is client-based, which means it does not have to make any server requests to run. This makes it ideal for fast response and initial validation of form input.

When combined with CSS, JavaScript can create dynamic effects using Dynamic HTML.

JavaScript is event driven, meaning it acts on events that happen on the screen such as clicking a button.

JavaScript is normally inserted into the HEAD section of the web page surrounded by a (SCRIPT) tag. It is generally called from the HTML in the web page BODY in response to an event, such as a mouse click. JavaScript can also be inserted directly into the BODY section of the web page.

Here are some basic scripts that may come in useful. Modify and experiment with them

Building WikiProgramming has been both a personal and professional dream since I was 16. The best way to learn is to teach - and this project allows me to learn while helping others. Its a win win and a way for me to give back. I appreciate any and all support!

Wikiprogramming was developed as a tool for programmers regardless of level; as a place to build a solid foundation of programming languages by using our many tutorials for beginner or intermediate programmers or to use as a point of reference for more advanced work. The concept is to increase the accessibility of learning programming languages and to consolidate them in one place. Wikiprogramming hopes to one day change the way the world learns to program and to enable any one to make his or her ideas a reality.
